Halloween Vintage Styley





Love this 1972 Halloween costume. What a pair!



   Feline friends.



This photo has to be my favourite. You must admit he has the most fascinating demeanor in such a costume. 



Very cute, not sure how practical it was to walk in! 


Magical Halloween.

1960s G-Plan Coffee Table Nest

I love my new vintage treasure, found at the local Salvos shop on the way home from work.

So modern and sleek in style and function.




This fabulous long nest of tables were originally part of the Fresco range by G-Plan, introduced in 1966. The Fresco range was made from teak wood with organic curved lines. It was G-Plan's most successful range and remained in production for many years.




The table tops are veneered in a straight grained, orange toned teak with the edges finished in solid teak. The tables are supported on solid teak end stands which  have curved edges.




  Here is the good news. G-Plan have relaunched Fresco for a new generation. Some changes have been made from the original designs yet still in character with their fluid modern style and use of quality teak wood.

Their sideboard and wall mirror are on my wishlist. I just need to move to the UK first!
